You might have noticed ABC's audio cut out during the handshake line following last night's NBA Finals game, just as Heat assistant coach Ron Rothstein approached Gregg Popovich. The reason? Rothstein said something to Popovich that included "fuck you." »6/16/14 12:29pm 6/16/14 12:29pm

Amidst the thousands of Spurs fans celebrating on the streets of San Antonio tonight, a reporter from CBS affiliate KENS decided instead to interview a Heat fan. He didn't have much to say. »6/16/14 12:34am 6/16/14 12:34am

The Heat kicked off Game 5 on a 22-6 run, and LeBron James contributed 17 of Miami's first 27 points. Even though no team had won with a 3-1 deficit in the Finals, the first quarter made Heat series vaguely conceivable. But then, the Spurs provided a dose of reality, stepped on Miami's throat, and concluded the Finals… »6/15/14 11:00pm 6/15/14 11:00pm

What you are watching is essentially 12 minutes of Dwyane Wade ambling around the court like a video game character who's been abandoned by his player. All the footage is from this year's NBA Finals series against the Spurs and it's pretty ugly for Wade. »6/14/14 11:22am 6/14/14 11:22am

The Spurs don't have an unreal shooting percentage tonight like they did in Game 3, but they still killed the Heat in the first half, 55-36. Kawhi Leonard's putback on Patty Mills's three attempt gave San Antonio a 22-point lead. So many sad, booing Heat fans. »6/12/14 10:27pm 6/12/14 10:27pm

I don't even know what to do with this. At this point, it's perhaps prudent to think about where we are and how we got here. LeBron James hate/bashing has gone so far that someone created this image comparing Yogi Berra's involvement in the Allied invasion of Normandy and LeBron James cramping up in Game 1 of the NBA… »6/07/14 4:05pm 6/07/14 4:05pm

You won't believe this. LeBron James, a human being, suffered a cramp and had to leave Game 1 of the Finals. He clearly can't win when his team needs him, or something. Stupid involuntary muscle spasms. »6/06/14 12:13am 6/06/14 12:13am

Including the playoffs, Ray Allen has dunked 12 times in his past three seasons. Tonight, the 38-year-old surprised the hell out of everyone by elevating for a slam against the Spurs in Game 1. »6/05/14 11:15pm 6/05/14 11:15pm

A curious stat popped up on ESPN's Stats & Info feed yesterday. "Tony Parker sat nearly as much as he played this season and the @spurs were slightly better per 100 poss. without him," it read. This says more about Spurs, and the stats we use, than it does about Parker. »6/05/14 2:16pm 6/05/14 2:16pm

Lee Jenkins has an awesome story about the last 29 seconds of Game 6 of the NBA finals and Ray Allen's incredible shot on SI.com today. It's full of great quotes from the game's principals, and it weaves together multiple perspectives without having to rest on the increasingly aggravating oral history format. One of… »12/18/13 4:21pm 12/18/13 4:21pm

After almost 30 years of using the 2-3-2 schedule in the Finals — giving the team with the worse record three straight home games — the NBA voted today to return to a schedule that would alternate venues for the final four games of a seven-game Finals. The 2-2-1-1-1 format is more "fair," according to the fair… »10/23/13 9:12pm 10/23/13 9:12pm

Erik Spoelstra, with his hat to the back, took a moment at the Heat's championship celebration to say that Miami "parties better than any other city in the world." Sometimes, that includes Pat Riley dancing. Or "dancing." Maybe malfunctioning? »6/24/13 2:17pm 6/24/13 2:17pm
